Valentine Tattoo & Piercing

Jeff was great! He jump right on in for mine and my fiancés finger tattoos. The facility is clean and friendly. Everyone there knew what they were doing and were easy to talk to through the whole process. Will be coming back. Got the tattoos on 4/14/2024 pictures taken later that evening

Jarrett is an amazing artist and a good dude all around. I can’t get over how amazing my tattoo came out and can’t wait to book my next appointment! The shop is awesome, clean, and everyone there was super nice and chill. 10/10 would recommend anybody to get their tattoos here!

Coop has given me some amazing tattoos over the last 5 years. From simple fixes to not so great tattoos I’ve gotten from other artist all the way to him creating a masterpiece of a tattoo when I didn’t even know what I wanted. He’s friendly, hilarious and so patient. I will ALWAYS highly recommend him and the shop he works at. Go check out Valentine Tattoo!

Went in to start a sleeve on my left arm. Mark was my artist and his work is no joke. Great place of business with great vibes. Super professional. Excellent work, quick and efficient. If i could do a 10 star review i would

Had a blast getting inked by Mark. He is a pro no doubt! He is super fast and has a great personality. You feel welcome as soon as you step in the door. I was greeted by Mark and spoke to him about the tattoo I was looking for. I could actually see his wheels start turning thinking of ideas to do my tattoo. So I booked an appointment and here is the results…. I’m absolutely in love with it thanks again Mark you are awesome!!!!

Absolutely loved this shop! Got my second mid and Sharla was extremely professional and quick!! Would recommend this shop. I came with a bachelorette party group and they were very patient and kind with all the requests/questions

SHOUT OUT TO MARK he did a great job bringing to life a tattoo for me that was very special! He was engaging, intelligent, funny, entertaining, and very friendly! The shop had such a welcoming vibe and cool funky style! I 10/10 would recommend, will go again:)

Great shop and great people. Laid back atmosphere, cool vibes and excellent work. Mark has done several tattoos for me and I look forward to my next visit for more work.

I loved it! Mark was amazing. He is a great artist that worked with me and made sure I got the tattoo that i wanted and loves. The shop was clean and everyone was professional. It was an easy process and I felt very comfortable.

I went in to see Coop for an addition to a tattoo he did for me a couple years ago. Valentines is such a clean and welcoming place, and I instantly felt comfortable and relaxed. Coop is an amazing artist, and he seems able to read my mind and make my tattoo vision better. I am in love with my tattoo, and definitely plan on coming back for more.

Definitely will be going back here. Coop was awesome. Everyone in there was very welcoming and nice, one of the cleanest shops I’ve been too and definitely recommend to others to go here!!!

The staff at Valentine is amazing! We brought our 6 year old girl in to get her ears pierced today. Charlotte and the rest of the staff were so kind, patient, and professional. It took us three separate trips during the day for her to work up the courage to do both ears. They were so great with her. Cannot recommend this shop any more!! They are fantastic…

Mark and the crew were amazing to me and my friends during my bachelorette weekend! We were very indecisive, but Mark and Jeff were very patient with us and answered all our questions. 10/10 these guys are amazing! We got tattoos and piercings. Everything was super sanitary and the vibes were amazing!

Very beautiful female owned shop! Everything is super clean and everyone is very nice and professional. I’ve been tattooed by coop and mark. Both did an outstanding job and I am very pleased with the results. Prices are reasonable and I was offered free touchups once the tattoos have healed. Can’t wait to come back soon :)

Valentine was recommended to me as the place to go in Asheville for artistic ink. At 38 years old, Im well aware of the difference in what you typically get with a walk-in experience vs doing portfolio research, finding the right artist for your piece, and sometimes waiting many months to get on their schedule. All of the work I have planned is detailed and intricate, heavily dependent on a trained eye for scale & placement, as well as artistic interpretation. So I swore Id never do a walk-in again.But you know how it goes when you get the itch. Sometimes you just have to scratch it right now, lifetime consequences be damned. And holy hell if I didnt luck out in trusting the reviews and my heavily-inked buddy!!Let me tell ya, you NEED Mark in your life. This guy knows wtf hes doing and has the experience, skill and artistic ability to get it done on the spot. He has a light hand and is quick, all while using multiple techniques to nail that attention to detail. He literally made art out of a simple design using line work, shading and stippling. I will ABSOLUTELY be hiring his services for my next piece. Even though its a vastly different concept, hes sold me on his ability to nail it.I hate even commenting on $$ because these are ARTISTS who are giving you something youll wear for life, but Ill say his pricing was beyond fair. Id have paid double and been completely satisfied.Thank you MARK!! And the rest of the crew at Valentine, who were consummate professionals from intake to care instructions. I will absolutely be back!

Amazing shop! I came from out of town with a bunch of girls and was treated amazingly! The piercer, Sharla, was so fast and kind! The tattoo artists were also amazing and cool, playing music to help ease the nerves! 100% recommend!!! Thank you!

This place is AMAZING! I went for a walk-in tattoo and was given spectacular service. The crew were awesome to be around and made the job really enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend more and cant emphasize how amazing the tattoo turned out. I would give 6 stars if I could!

Sharla was so amazing!! I couldnt have asked for a better experience. I got my nostril pierced, and she was so friendly and accommodating and made me feel so calm! The whole process was over in under a minute, barely felt anything, and she was super precise. Thank you Sharla!!

Excellent experience! The team at Valentines took our party of 12 in and helped us all get tatted and pierced. They were all SUPER welcoming, helped us pick out designs, walked us through all the steps, made us feel super comfortable. Would absolutely come back next time in Asheville!

My daughter and I went in for a tattoo not really knowing what we wanted. The artists were extremely helpful, welcoming, and friendly. We both couldnt be more pleased with our tattoos. Amazing experience! Very clean!!

Valentine Tattoo is awesome! From all the pink to the cool decor to the cleanliness and great vibes! Coop is an amazing artist and has done several of my pieces. I will be going back very soon!!

The tattoo artist named mark did an absolute amazing job and the owner of the business was very nice and very helpful kept good conversations and the art on my arm looks crazy good i will only be coming here from now on for any tattoo and recommending them over anyone in town

I have received a piercing and a tattoo from valentines and both experiences have been wonderful. Both Sharla (piercer) and Mark (tattooer) were incredibly professional and knowledgeable.They both have many years experience in their respective professions and it shows.I cannot recommend them enough.

Great vibe in this shop ! Anyone would feel welcome , I mean anyone...I have multiple pieces from Mark and Coop. Clean, comfortable atmosphere with consistent, quality artwork and piercing. They treat you like family. Charla, Coop, Gabe and Mark are doing it right...drop by and see for yourself!!

Sharla’s shop is an absolute treat: clean, organized, and well designed. She’s professional, patient, and the entire crew of us that came in felt comfortable and excited to get pierced by her.Thank you!

I have gotten my eyebrow done by sharla on my left side and it was done so professionally. The environment in the shop is super clean, especially the piercing room. There was something off with how my right eyebrow was pierced and it was on the brink of rejection. I cant wait to get my right side of my eyebrow repierced in august!!! She did do a good job piercing my left side tho.

I absolutely love this place. Can’t recommend it enough. Jarret Cooper has done work for my wife and I multiple times. He always delivers exactly what we had pictured in our minds.Every other artist is super cool as well! And this place is SUPER clean!!

Coop did an amazing, sentimental work of art for me today! He listened to what I wanted and added his artistic touch! I will definitely be back to him for more! The shop is clean and so comfortable! Thank you Coop! I love my new tattoo!

Great service, people, and talent at Valentine Tattoo! Sharla is one of the nicest people and really cares about her clients. Highly recommend Mark if youre looking for a tattoo. Hes very detailed and talented at what he does. Great experience overall!!! Best shop in Asheville!

Definitely recommend this shop, very clean and welcoming. The artwork is incredible, and I got my piece done by Coop. He helped create a special memory I hold with my Grandpa and it’s absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to see it healed.

They are super clean! They use all the best equipment and supplies!! They have the best jewelry selection!! Mark is a great artist and the piercer is on point!!!Mark did my son’s first tattoo, I wouldn’t have taken him anywhere else!! He has now done three of mine & my son just got his second and third from him this weekend!!!Super chill shop, clean and not sketchy!!If you want a great tattoo or piercing and a great experience, this is the shop to check out!!!Thanks

Absolutely loved Charla and Mark! They were so fun and patient with my group, not to mention insanely professional! 11/10, would definitely go again and recommend them to anyone seeking modifications!

Wow!!! Wow, wow, wow!! Wonderful piercings and tattoos, I’ve found my favorite shop! Sharla is incredible, I had 3 piercings done and they were all practically painless, quick and easy! She is precise and careful, and gets you exactly what you want, while talking you through each step of the process. A great new place to visit, or make a regular acquaintance, I cannot wait to return for more! 20/10, 3 thumbs up, a million gold stars!

I would recommend Valentine Tattoo & Piercing to anybody. The shop atmosphere is awesome as everybody is always so welcoming and helpful! I got several quality pieces of jewelry as well as my vertical labret from Sharla- she even ordered me some custom jewelry! She is also so pleasant and helpful. I got tattooed by Mark who did an exceptional job on both of my pieces from him. As somebody who is pretty heavily tattooed - I can genuinely say Valentine is now my go to spot. The shop is extremely clean and also very well maintained and decorated. If you’re looking to get tattooed or pierced definitely come to Valentine!

Mark is the best!!! Shop is clean and pricing is good. Wont go anywhere else.....told mark what we wanted and he didnt disappoint. Coop is great as well. Both of these guys do awesome work.

I dislike needles and was super nervous getting my ears pierced, but Sharla was very kind and walked me through the process that I was much more relaxed. Everyone else there seemed very kind and professional so I’d be happy to come back! Thanks for the hospitality !❤️❤️

Definitely my new favorite piercing spot in Asheville! Immaculately clean and cozy, not to mention how incredibly adorable/esthetically pleasing the all-pink atmosphere is. Instagram worthy for sure! Everyone in the shop was super welcoming and professional- I was in & out in less than 30 minutes for my walk-in eyebrow piercing appointment. The piercer was kind and really attentive, making sure I was 100% happy with the piercing placement and comfortable telling her if I wanted the placement moved. Looking forward to booking a tattoo there next, the work I saw while I was there was absolutely stunning! Thanks Valentine, you’ve got my recommendation! 💖

This was the first place I went to get a piercing since moving to Asheville and I dont think Ill be going anywhere else! Sharla is an amazing piercer, very informative and my new tongue piercing looks fantastic. Everyone there is super friendly; the whole place has a cute and comfortable atmosphere and is overall really clean. I will absolutely be coming back!

Mark did my first tattoo ever, and it looks so great! He was super fast, personable, and understanding about me being scared. if you’re looking for a reliable and local place for tattoos, this is it!

My friends and i all came as walk ins for a piercing! it was AMAZING! so happy with the cute interior, the customer service, quality of the jewelry, and how professional and wonderful the staff was. highly recommend.

Sharla is one of the most incredible piercers i have ever been to. The whole space is comfortable and welcoming, not to mention the people working there! Whenever it comes time to recommend a tattoo or piercing place, this is the first to come to mind. Every interaction i have had here has been better than any other. Thank you Valentine!

Went with some friends for helix piercings and Sharla was the absolute sweetest. So knowledgeable, professional, and kind. 10/10 go here for your piercing needs…especially first piercings!!!!

Very comfortable, clean, cute place. The staff is amazing!! Sharla pierced my septum and it was probably the best piercing experience I’ve ever had. The guy with stars on his face is super rad, too.

Everyone is so kind, was greeted when I walked in both times. I went to get a bridge the first time and for my second visit i got vampire bites and even though i was SUPER nervous Sharla did an amazing job talking me through both piercings and they went very smooth. Will def be coming back and I can’t stop recommending this place to friends 🤘 mwah
